Slam Dunk is a highly hop-forward Double IPA from Salikatt, crafted as a juicy and intense beer with 8% ABV and the typical hazy texture of modern NEIPA-inspired styles. The recipe is driven by Citra and Mosaic, two hops known for delivering aromas of mango, passion fruit, pineapple, and grapefruit, complemented by subtle resinous and pine notes that add depth.
The beer pours a hazy orange-gold color with a full, soft body that supports its high aromatic intensity without feeling heavy. The flavor opens with a gentle malt roundness that quickly transitions into a clear, lasting bitterness, while the finish remains dry and refreshing, contributing to its drinkability despite its stronger profile.
Its velvety, juicy mouthfeel is characteristic of the style and showcases Salikatt’s expertise in producing lush, modern hop-focused beers. Slam Dunk stands out for its stable balance between bold tropical hop notes and a smooth, rounded body, making it a popular choice among fans of expressive IPA varieties.
This beer is a strong example of the brewery’s ability to combine intense hop character with technical precision, resulting in a rich yet approachable Double IPA.
